If you have an apple
and I have an apple and we
exchange these apples, then
you and I will still each
have one apple.
But if you have an idea
and I have an idea and we
exchange these ideas, then
each of us will have
two ideas.
~ George Bernard Shaw
That is why we want to get together and exchange
ideas.
While
many groups are working for peace and are opposing the military mindset of our
society, we each have been pushing our little part of it with some success, but
little notice by the general public or the media.
Several
of us, involved with the American Friends Service Committee PA, Women’s
International League for Peace and Freedom, Code Pink, Peace Action, Anti-War
Committee know that there are many more groups and individuals who contribute
in their own way or would like to bring about a more peaceful world.
We
believe that if we pool our efforts and ideas, that we could be a more powerful
force and have more impact on events in Washington and the world.
Since
President Obama’s election to a second term, he himself has said that he needs
to hear from us, and so does the rest of our government.
